How to Think Outside the Box When Planning a Trip to Florida

Many of you might plan a trip to the Sunshine State. I don’t blame you – Florida is amazing. It has great, clean beaches, unlimited sun, and salty ocean water. And no matter where you stay in Florida, you are always close to a beach!

Starting from Disney World and Universal to water parks and shopping avenues, Florida has many experiences to offer. You just need to plan correspondingly, and you are going to have a great holiday full of sunshine and cool baths! Take a look at some of the tips you should consider before leaving.

Choosing the Right Time to Visit

Because of its great popularity, Florida might be extremely crowded at specific times of the year. Unfortunately, you can never know exactly when, since its climate is so constant. If you plan a family trip to Disney, I would say avoid the summer, or the holiday seasons – that’s when most people tend to go. Take a random work holiday in November for example, and start your sunshine adventures.

If you visit Miami, it does not really matter what you choose. Miami is always crowded, no matter how hard you try to avoid it. It’s basically Southern New York. Lo siento, mi amigo.

Choosing Your Destination

If you want to have an unforgettable experience, visit Orlando and its attractions! There are plenty of options for you to have fun. There are themed dinner theaters, and lots of monuments to visit here besides the theme parks (if you go to Universal, don’t miss the Harry Potter theme park – astonishing!)

If you want to see the historical part of the state, visit St. Augustine. It is the first city to ever exist in the United States. It has lots of historical monuments and museums. Also, you can enjoy the beach after a culturally enriched day, so that’s another great advantage.

If you want to so salsa dancing, choose Miami! Its nightlife is indeed amazing. Daytona Beach is one of the most popular beaches in the United States. Make sure you stop here too. Also, rent a car and go to The Keys – amazing!

Getting To Florida
